Revision Tips

Heya :) ♥

So I mentioned briefly in my last blog that I have been revising a lot recently for the exams that I have coming up, so i thought as one nice person to the next I would share some of my revision tips with you all in a hope that they will help someone. 

Now it has taken me five years to finally get ways of revising that work so these techniques won't necessarily work for you all but it might help some one.

When I revising I cannot just read through the book and learn it I have to write it out in bright colours to make it more enjoyable to read and look at, if you can even make revising more enjoyable. When I write my notes I tend to use the Stabilo point 88 pens as they come in a variety of vibrant colours. Also when writing notes I will highlight the key words and phrases that I need to remember. The highlighters are relatively cheap compared to the pens, the highlighters came in a pack of 4 for £1 with the colours pink and orange (as you see in the picture) and also yellow and green. The pens where slightly pricer at £8.94 for a pack of 20. 

Another technique I use when revising is mind maps or spider diagrams or what ever you want to call them, these are nicer to read and you can stick a few pages together or have a big piece of paper an make a huge on and stick it on your wall so you will always see it. With mind maps you could use pictures to describe what you are saying as most of you know the famous saying a picture paints a thousand words. I also use the Stabilo pens when making mind maps. Also drawing diagrams helps me as I would be able to picture them in my head during the exam alot easier than a huge block of text. 

When ever I write notes i ten to keep them in note books so you are less likely to lose a page, and what always happens me is when I lose a page it is always a huge mark question on the exam so I learnt from my mistakes and have now kept all of my notes into note books and one note book for each subject. Also with note books you can go into any local stationary shop and pick up a notebook for no price they are that cheap and they don't need to be super expensive as your not planning to go around showing them off to all your friends like you would a new bag or pair of shoes. 

 So they are just a dew of the tips that I use when I'm revising for exams. I hope that some of these tips helped you and that everyone who is doing exams will do very well in them and if you aren't doing exams you're a lucky duck! 

Speak to you all soon ♥
